There are 5 main configuration components of any Custom Report: Metrics, Dimensions, Filters, Visualization, and Data Range. The sections below outline how to configure each of these Custom Report components.

Back to Top

Configure Metrics

From the new Custom Report, click the Metrics tab.

Metrics

Think about Metrics like the What part of your report—what do you want to measure? You can include as many metrics as you need in each Custom Report. Apollo groups metrics into 9 top-level categories:

Category Description
Calls Metrics related to the performance and status of calls made with the Apollo Dialer
Emails Metrics related to the performance of emails sent through Apollo Sequences
Tasks Metrics related to the creation and completion of Tasks in the Apollo platform
Linkedin Tasks Metrics related to the creation and completion of Tasks created from the Apollo extension on LinkedIn
Account Metrics related to the interactions with accounts in the Apollo platform
Contact Metrics related to the interactions with contacts in the Apollo platform
Opportunity Metrics related to the performance of Opportunities in the Apollo platform
Person Metric related to the number of Net New People saved as contacts in the Apollo platform
Company Metric related to the number of Net New Companies saved as accounts in the Apollo platform

Click the relevant metrics that you want to include in the Custom Report. Apollo adds the selected Metrics as columns to the table on the left.

Metrics Example

 
Metrics Per Report

To gain optimal results, limit yourself to less than 25 metrics per report. For the clearest results, start with the most important metrics and add additional fields only if necessary.

Back to Top

Configure Dimensions

From the new Custom Report, click the Dimensions tab.

Dimensions

Think about Dimensions like the Which part of your report—which data do you want to measure your metrics by? Apollo groups dimensions into 7 categories:

Category Description
User Dimension related to the specific individual(s) taking the action in the Apollo platform
Date Dimensions related to the time period of the action taken in the Apollo platform (for example, day, hour, month, year, etc.)
Contact/Person Dimensions related to the information about the individuals contacted from the Apollo platform (for example, their persona type, their location, their stage in the sales pipeline, etc.)
Account/Company Dimensions related to the information about the companies contacted from the Apollo platform (for example, the account name, the number of company employees, the industry, related keywords, etc.)
Email Dimensions related to the type of emails sent from the Apollo platform (for example, email subject, template used, etc.)
Phone Call Dimensions related to the purpose and disposition of the phone calls made from the Apollo platform
Sequence Dimensions related to the name of the sequence or the specific step that was used to engage with the prospects in the Apollo platform
 
Dimensions Per Report

Please note, you may notice some overlap between specific items in the Metrics and Dimensions lists. This is because you can use many types of data as either a Metric or Dimension.

Click the relevant dimension(s) that you want to include in the Custom Report. Apollo adds the selected Dimensions as rows to the table on the left.

Dimensions Example

You can add a maximum of 2 Dimensions per report.

Configure Filters

From the new Custom Report, click Filters on the left-hand-side.

Filters View

Click + Add Filters.

Add Filters

Think about Filters like the specific subsets of data that you want to visualize in your report. Which subsets do you want to include and exclude? You can add as many filters as you need in each Custom Report. Apollo groups filters into the same categories as those in the Dimensions section above.

Click Select Filter to choose the relevant dimensions that you want to include in the Custom Report.

Filter Examples

Click the Select drop-down to include or exclude additional metrics of your choice.

Think about the Data Range like the gap of time for all of the data in the Custom Report. Apollo provides several defined timeframes for the data that you want to visualize in the Custom Report.

Data Range

You can also define your own timeframe using the Custom Range option.

Custom Data Range

  • Area Area
  • Pie Pie
  • Heatmap Heatmap
